—🇸🇦/🇾🇪 The schools in Riyadh switched to a distance learning system for a week based on the orders of the Saudi authorities, without providing any official reason.

This decision was made one day after the Saudi air defense intercepted two drones belonging to Ansar Allah (Houthis) that were targeting Riyadh, in light of the escalation of the Houthis' attacks on the kingdom.

Two separate messages from schools, tracked by AFP, said: "We have just received word from the Saudi authorities that schools must be closed for the week."
